Bicycling 48 states in 48 days

So I was tipped off to a guy who is bicycling the lower 48 states and aiming to do it in 48 days.



That's the basic route, from a local newspaper article. He is from Ohio actually - near Dayton.

His website is http://www.go48in48.com/ but it's not up and running just yet.

It is about 8100 miles, so he has to do 165-170 miles a day, which should be quite daunting!!!

48 States in 5 days

Heard from my mom (who heard on NPR) about a trio of folks that are attempting to set "the record" for fastest drive to all 48 continental states. They are aiming to do it in 120 hours (5 days) and are of course following the standard rules of no stops except to refuel and change drivers. As of this writing they are in South Dakota and are 36 states down with 12 to go. They started in Vermont and are ending in 4 corners.
